Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's busy
too busy to come to the phone
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's tryin'
to start a new life of her own
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's happy
so why don't you leave her alone
chorus
And the operator says Fourty cents more
for the next three minutes
Please, Missus Avery, I just gotta talk to her
I only keep her a while
Please, Missus Avery, I just want to tell her goodbye
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's packin'
she's gonna be leavin' today
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's marryin
a fellow down Galveston way
Sylvia's mother says Please don't say nothin
to make her start cryin' and stay
chorus
Sylvia's mother says Sylvia's hurryin'
she's catchin' the nine o'clock train
Sylvia's mother says: Take your umbrella
'cause Sylvie, it's startin' to rain
And Sylvia's mother says Thank you for callin'
and Sir, won't you call back again
